About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, Crossover Dose-Proportionality Study to Evaluate the Effect of Dose on the Pharmacokinetics of 25, 50, and 100 mg ULTRAM ER Under Fasted Conditions in Healthy Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose proportionality of the pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug) of tramadol in healthy adult participants.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), single-center, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), and 3-way crossover (method used to switch participants from one study group to another in a clinical trial) study of tramadol extended-release (ER). All participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 6 possible treatment sequences of tramadol. The study consists of 3 parts: Screening (within 20 days before study commences on Day -1); Open-label treatment (consisting of 3 single-dose treatment periods separated with washout period of 4-14 days, and dosing will be under fasting conditions on Day 1 in each treatment period); and Follow-up (up to 48-hour blood sample collection on Day 3 of Period 3). The duration of study is anticipated to be 6-8 weeks per participant. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum concentration (Cmax) of Tramadol

    The Cmax is the maximum plasma concentration.

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

  2. Time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) of Tramadol

    The Tmax is time to reach the maximum plasma concentration.

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

  3. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[last])

    The AUC(last) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of the last quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

  4. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time (AUC[infinity])

    The AUC(infinity) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinite time, calculated as the sum of AUC(last) and C(last)/lambda(z), in which C(last) is the last observed quantifiable concentration.

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

  5. Elimination half-life period (t1/2) associated with the terminal slope (Lambda z)

    Elimination half-life associated with the terminal slope (lambda[z]) of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

  6. Terminal slope (Lambda z)

    Terminal slope is defined by first-order rate constant associated with the terminal portion of the curve, determined as the negative slope of the terminal log-linear phase of the drug concentration-time curve.

    Measured: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tramodol Extended-Release (ER) in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum concentration (Cmax) of Tramadol (time frame: Predose and at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 36, and 48 hours post dose of study treatment). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2013.
